RolloRon Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Anyone experienced cancellation of payment thro PayPal? I've got an order with one the "trusted dealers" which I think is going sour and I just wanted to know what my options were re cancelling.

markiemark Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 I hope you didnt... Why? Well that means that you f#cked over one of our TD's. I'm not sure if it applies to RWG as well, but on other forums you will get banned for that kind of jokes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydenM Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Don't cancel the payment, if you do you're pretty much out of the rep game. It's a ridiculous thing to do that negatively impacts the rest of us here. Talk to a moderator here and sort it out. If you have dealt with a TD then they would lose much more than they would gain by ripping you off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RolloRon Posted June 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Ok but what are my options if the TD fails to keep his promise? Does this forum help me recover my loss? BTW this is not a joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RolloRon Posted June 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 OK thanks HaydenM. Your reply slipped in between Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightwatch Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Hi, normally the first step is to contact the TD and nicely ask for a refund. If You just didn´t like the first watch he showed You, normally You get to see a second and a third. There may well be 3 days to a week waiting time in between depending on the TD. Next step is to contact a moderator and explain the situation if it did not work out. Avoid the direct PP way at all cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kernow Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Cancelling PayPal payments can mess with your PayPal account along with the TD's. Do not do it unless expressly advised to do so by a moderator. Why is the order going sour? Maybe posting some information on here will get you some answers from forum members who've had similar experiences. Patience is key in this game, maybe the TD just needs more time to resolve whatever issues you/they are having. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RolloRon Posted June 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 I don't want to mention any details here (yet). I just wanted to know what my options were. I think I got the message pretty clear. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpz5142 Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 I don't want to mention any details here (yet). I just wanted to know what my options were. I think I got the message pretty clear. Thanks again. Without details you aren't going to get good advice. About everyone without details will tell you not to cancel payment if for a rep, you'll hardly find someone to be sympathetic to your cause. Basically I'm going to say, suck it up, you are taking part of a transaction dealing with illegal goods who the heck do you think you are to demand amazon.com like customer service anyway?

pcardoza Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 A bit harsh jpz! The guy is a noob who asked for advice. He SAYS he's going to follow the advice given above. Isn't this exactly what we want noobs to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomhorn Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 As others have said a PayPal dispute is a ban-able offense on the major rep boards. Never file one until a moderator approves it. Never even threaten one. Obviously you've gotten a lot of negative feedback, so you now know how wrong that tactic is viewed here. Problems will happen from time-to-time. You'll need to learn to accept that sometimes things don't go smoothly if you want to stay in this hobby. Trusted Dealers are trusted for a reason, and the board moderators have direct contact to them. They will help you resolve your issue. Rarely is there a problem that can't be solved. Many "problems" from people new to the rep game involve either mis-communication, lack of patience, or an unfamiliarity with the reality of how the rep world really works. Most of the time people over-react to what's really happening and things spiral out of control when they don't have to. You should have kept this private until after going to the moderators. This procedure for handling issues with TD's is widely reported throughout all the major boards. If you didn't know this, then you haven't spent enough time looking around.

mymanmatt Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 First of all, you only have about 30 mins to cancel a payment you've made with pp. Beyond that, you have to open a pp claim. That would be item not as described or not received. That puts everyones pp in danger. NEVER EVER FILE A CLAIM WITH PP UNTIL THE MODS TELL YOU TO!!!!!!!! WHATEVER PROBLEM YOU THINK YOU HAVE, IT CAN BE WORKED OUT. YOU'RE NOT ALONE HERE. BUT, IF YOU USE PP FOR A DISPUTE, YOU WON'T BE HERE OR ANYWHERE ELSE !!!!!

Isn't this exactly what we want noobs to do? Harsh? Not a bit. Blunt? Yes, who know if details were provided the tone might soften but as I'm part of the rep community im going to share my opinion and also I feel that guys need to change their expectations a bit. Second, he got a TD to grant him PayPal privileges. Don't think he's really a newbie, maybe new here but generally the TDs only give PayPal privileges to an established member in good standing...

pcardoza Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 My point was he had clearly gotten the message before your post. We tend to "pile on" noobs who don't understand this hobby, rather than educate and welcome them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RolloRon Posted June 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Thanks again all for your very "constructive comments" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journeyman Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Keep us posted, sometimes things do go wrong but most of the TD's on this forum are really good and will work with you, unfortunately though some can be hit and miss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtguk Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Rollo can you elaborate a bit for us as yet? It's hard to give any more advice without any details but threads like this also pose another problem for the forum as new members think we all just bash a Noob without cause, not true at all and to be fair we are pretty laid back here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

civic4982 Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Just talk to mods first if things aren't working. They'll help you settle it. Sent from the my iPhone using Tapatalk s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RolloRon Posted June 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Eventually got back to me after almost 3 weeks. Had to re-order another watch as they couldn't supply original. I have tracking number now so should be arriving soon I hope. I guess things like this just happen sometimes. I don't want to mention the TD here as it may not be his fault.

jpz5142 Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Glad it worked out for you, thanks for the update. Now comes the hardest part, waiting for the watch to come from China... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Glad things look sorted out for you. Something to keep in mind when approaching Reps. Treat this very much like sitting down at a Black Jack Table / [insert gambling metaphor]. You may win some, you may loose some. To be fair, the odds are in your favor when dealing with a TD. NEVER use PP Buyer Protection if it can be avoided in the context of a TD. You may have to take it on the chin for the greater community.
